Peru Consulate - Denied Entry in Peru because of Visa?

I really hope that you can help me with this case. I am a citizen from the Dominican Republic and permanent resident in Australia. At the end of last year I contacted the Peruvian Embassy in Sydney to get information about getting a visa to visit Peru. The general consul herself contacted me back via phone and informed me that I didn´t need a visa and she also referred me to go to their website where is also stated that Dominican citizens don't need a tourist visa for Peru.
On my arrival to Peru, I was denied entry due to lack of visa. Unfortunately today I heard from the Travel Insurance saying that they won’t cover for any of the expenses.

I think you best option is to keep working on the insurance agency.
What were you grounds for a claim and what were theirs for denying the claim?

The ground for the claim was the lost of all prepaid tours, accommodation and flights due to Peruvian immigration denied entry on the grounds of lack of a turist visa. We explained and provided evidence of the information given by the Consul General of Peru where states I do not need a tourist visa to enter Peru.

This situation is really unfair. I did what I had to do... I called the Consulate and double checked the visa requirements before planning and paying for the trip. If we can not trust the Consulate who are we supposed to trust?
